7. Wish people understood plots
Fri May 4, 2012, 11:10 AM
May 2012

There are innumerable versions of these plots, from deficit history, to job creation, to the size of government, all of which show that since FDR, the democrats have been better at the economy, and jobs, and deficits, than the GOP could ever HOPE to be.

I'm convinced that people just don't understand graphs. They seemed to work for Perot for a moment. But other than that, there is just no way anyone could understand the simplest of graphs, and still hold on to any idea that the GOP gets anything right. And Romney is the worst of the bunch. He can't show a graph that passes the laugh test, much less a smell test. Anything he claims approaches the impossible.
